View source for NF : Policy : Gender Equality

Noolaham  Foundation  believes  that  gender  equality  is  central  to  achieving  the  objectives  of Noolaham  Foundation.    Gender  inequity  varies  in  its  expression  from  place  to  place,  but  in  all communities  where  Noolaham  Foundation  works,  we  encounter  some  form  of  gender-based discrimination,  gender  stereotyping  and  an  unequal  distribution  of  power  between  women  and men, girls and boys.  Noolaham Foundation’s commitment to gender equality is based on the international  standards  established  by  the  Convention  on  theRights  of  the  Child  (CRC)  and  the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
